I watched the X-Files film for the first time. Mindless entertainment (e.g. Mulder enters a dog patrolled compound full of baddies unarmed and phoneless having just been almost killed by one of them) with Billy Connolly playing a dippy psychic.

Last night I watched District 9 for the first time. I thought it was really rather good; not sure why I didn't see that at the cinema.

Presumably TW means the second X-Files film (I think was on Film 4?). The first one was bad enough.

Severance with Danny Dyer. At first thought it would be really tulipe but actually quite a dark comedy.

Watch the rest later today.

Yeah, it was probably Film4. Once of the Freeview channels anyway.

watched sexy beat after not being able to stick with it the first time and remembered why I couldn't - not a bad film but I just couldn't get it

I watched Black Swan, it was ok, I didn't connect with any charters, none of them were that likeable.

Some quality girl-on-girl in that isn't there?

If you fancy a bit of that, try Tipping the Velvet

A couple of Sarah Waters' other novels have now been turned into films, such as Fingersmith and Affinity.

* Wild Target (2010), a good black comedy (and British) about a hit man whose plans are thwarted by a dippy con woman, played by Emily Blunt (who played the Queen in The Young Victoria (2009). It's 6.8 IMDB points are well deserved IMHO.

* Unthinkable (2010), a thought provoking thriller about a the interrogation of a terrorist who has planted several nuclear bombs in US cities, the terrorist being played by the amazingly versatile Michael Sheen.

I must be a bad person, because the immediate thought it provoked in me was why, in that extreme situation, didn't the interrogator immediately shoo all the amateurs and waverers out of the room and get to work on the guy's family in front of him. Any blame would have been the terrorist's, for bringing about the situation.

I enjoyed both of those films. Not enough to buy on DVD but still ok.

I watched cyrus, which was billed as a comedy - 2hrs of my life I'm never getting back. God knows how it gets 6.6/10 on imdb. Mrs PL picked it out.
